Pretty cool build and setup. Like she said, I like that this isn't the kind of thing that you have to be a master carpenter or craftsman for. There was nothing in this build that I saw and thought that I couldn't do. That's what I like to see. Thanks Dylan and Melissa.

I really liked the simple layout of the trailer with the desk at the end. Since they're going to he pulling the trailer with a truck there's so much extra space to put things you don't use as often without cluttering the living space. It's like they have an attic or closet in their truck and living space in their trailer. I like this idea better than a tiny house if you're going to be mobile. Otherwise I'd want a bathroom.

You guys are amazing. Function over form always. Be flexible and adaptive rather than rigid and one-sided. Obstacles can always be overcome. You may have to use the clutch, drop it down to second or even first gear and sometimes even use your 4 wheel drive. You might have to throw sand, sticks, chains down or even wrench your way out but you will get out with patient determination and effort. My dad always said let your troubles and worries be like water off a ducks back... shack em off ! You will live longer and happier

This is the build that I like the most. For me a desk to sit down and read or work on the computer is basic and the way you set it at the very front is great. Your combo is great because the dirty stuff can go in the pickup and you keep the camper clean.

Wow I love this! I've been on the road now for 6 months, living in my van. I just bought a cargo trailer 3 days ago. While I am a cabinet maker I still don't want to go all fancy. I'm leaning towards something like what you've done. I've been trying to decide what I want to put up in the nose. The desk idea is interesting.

Nice setup you have. I noticed that the bed legs were a bit of a problem for you when you were putting the extension up. Maybe you could put some velcro on those bed legs and it would make it easier to set up and take down by holding the legs in place until you are ready to pull them down or put them up. Just a thought.
